How the f*ck are we even gonna get to be 60?

OK. Todays post will be a little different from the posts I normally make here, but here it goes: With the world swirling downwards a very dark spiral with wars, threats, capitalism, global warming etc? First of all, the climate is changing, whether it's due to humans or not is irrelevant. It DOES matter when it comes to drinking water, ability to grow food, enlarging deserts, evergrowing population etc. at the same time, capitalistic companies make the rich more rich and suck out more from the poor of the world. With resources growing scarcer and scarcer due to more people, less decent soil to grow in, less drinking/watering water, higher prices on food due to this, a world war is imminent. it's inevitable actually. And then we have the foreign politics of the US (I'm not blaming the American people totally, since you're unable to do anything about it) which, due to the global situation, both are compelled to act in certain ways to keep the global position (these acts mainly exists of showing how big dicks they have by threatening/going to war with "terrorists" etc), because if they don't do this, the world order would change, which would produce dire consequences for both economy and relations overall. Then there's more capitalism. Oh don't we all hate taxes? (except me, but I live in Sweden, where we had lowered taxes after the last election, which has led to more inequities. I would hate it in the US too. I wouldn't wanna give a dime to that gov't.) Although, a country with total capitalism (like the US almost is), becomes VERY segregated and unequal. If you're lucky/born rich/really strive and do the right choices, you can get STINKING rich. But most people have it kind of shitty. working 2-3 jobs with kids to support and it barely goes around. that barely exists at all in Sweden. We have almost no homeless people here either. you have to really fuck up a million times to get homeless. I mean, the social protection will even pay an apartment for you if you can't get a job and your job-money-organization-days are over. we don't have poor people here. I mean really poor. at least they are very few in comparison with the whole population. I got a little side tracked there.. sorry.. hehe. When it comes to segregation in the US compared to i.e. Sweden (I'm ruling out the fact that you have 350 million people and we have nine million, which really matters a lot when it comes to taxes, education etc etc etc, to make it easier), education is a BIG issue. Since capitalism is the major agreed-upon and ruling "phenomenon", everyone has to pay for their own education (it's free to go to school in Sweden. From elementary throughout University. You are even granted an allowance and a loan if you attend university), lower classes of people (naturally people born with slimmer chances, like blacks, white trailer park people, poor Mexican immigrants etc) doesn't have the same opportunity to get a proper education as the richer people have. This also produces more time when you don't have anything to do, and you don't have much money either, and these people are shoved together (remember, capitalism rules) into places where the living is cheap (and low standard). This produces higher crimes. Then on top of this, loads and loads and LOADS of both legal and illegal weapons circulating. I don't blame the black/Mexican/-insertPoorMinority- for this, but the greedy, rich (mostly white) people running the companies and country, feeding capitalism and (only) the (oh so economically interested) "facts" on how the world works.(capitalism and richness produce more greediness). Instead of pushing the products that is best for the people throughout both the production chain (good for workers, environment etc) and through the life of the commodity at hand, when it has reached the hands of the consumer, they push for the product with the lowest production cost (most often bad influence on the environment and the producing worker's health and salary), which has poor quality, so when it breaks after a very limited time, you have to buy another one. Making more money for the rich, more pollution through production and through waste, and widening the split between rich and poor. Then we have the world where the BIG players matter, like the US in foreign affairs, the middle east with their oil and their (very few, but still existing) extreme fundamentalists, china, with an exploding economy and a weird mix of communism and capitalism, and Russia who are kinda hard to put your finger on what role they're playing -and are going to play in the future- it's kinda worrying. When the weather extremes get worse (regardless if it's man-made or not), with more hurricanes destroying both homes and food sources, and more floods ridding people of their homes, their food and spreading diseases, with the himalayan/alps/-insertMountains- glaciers melting more and more each year, the deserts growing, the people increasing in numbers, and on top of that, global politics, a fullblown, nuclear world war is inevitable as I see it. The tension doesn't really decrease. Even if the November Election between Obama and McCain is a show for the sheep, it seems like the people pulling the strings will take different approaches of world economies, with McCain as head figure a more agressive aproach seems to be on the table, contrary to if Obama wins, they might take a more subtle approach, at least in the preluding (correct word?) years. (Don't take me for some kind of nationalist or racist towards others, all I want is equality, and people to be nice to each other, regardless of color or heritage. And I want to get rid of this lack of fair play. Why does these juppies always have to go in their own VIP lane, behind the curtains, pushing the market/politics in the way of their own economic interests? Why can't people just be honest, play fair and be nice to eachother? ) One love, One people!

Zion Train

Zion Train is coming our way
And Zion train is leaving in 81 days.
Leaving Babylon for a bohemian life.
A break from all this.

Distance towards the familiar everyday life
From the chains of Babylon, restraining me.
Free, letting go of the musts and expectations.
A free mind, as the Prophet has taught me.












The Path has been laid out.
Walking it hand-in-hand with my love.
Together, we are going to explore.
See what's on the other side.

You see, Babylon pulls a curtain over our eyes.
We must not see what is there for everyone.
But now it's time to bun down Babylon
To tear apart the wall, the curtain, the falseness.

It is time to let I out of I.
To merge I&I into a fusion.
To not let Babylon downpress,
separate, silence the soul anymore.

To let the natural wisdom flow free.
To stand out of the greedy, capitalistic society for once.


Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Wisdom is better than silver and gold

Zion train is coming our way.

We Had Enough!

The current situation for all the swedish nurses, being totally run over and laughed at by their employer, SKL, really got to me. So because of this, and because of human rights being fucked over by governments all over the world, I had to produce somekind of message. A message of unity, a message that the time has come when the people has had enough. The time has come when we WON'T put up with the misguiding, greedy, individualistically thinking fucking egoists running this country, and others. The time has come for them to listen to the ones doing the hard work. To listen to them, or to crumble!

If you continue to fuck us up, we will pull away the rug under your feet, and you WILL, believe me when I say it, LAND ON YOUR ASS!

for a reference of my thinking, which is still, today, valid, yet, it's really really old, I will present a picture (credit to the artist who made this):



and now on to the lyrics I pulled out of my creativity and inspiration (lol)

Enough!
we had enough.

leading us as sheep.
pointing and laughing
looking at us through your window,
waiting for us to give up.
in the end we always have.

we had enough
unite and let 'em know we're serious
this time we aint givin' up.
your shepherd time is up.

enough of your safety.
we're gonna smash your window.
back you up against the wall
letting you know it's you against us all.
now try to fuck with us!

we had enough
unite and let 'em know we're serious
this time we ain't givin up.
your shepherd time is up.

the mass is a bomb.
not a kid's toy anymore
not your toy to lure.
you're pulling the trigger on yourself.
take it as it is, obey or be replaced.

we had enough
enough of your misleading politics
of your tricks, slick, slippin and sliding,
dividing,
us to be on our own. but no more!

we had enough
unite and let 'em know we're serious
this time we ain't givin up.
your shepherd time is up.

enough of your fuckups.

invisible power drain.

Drained, hollow as a diggeridoo, I stare.
Not having the stamina to be productive,
yet, how do you gain productiveness?
I can't remember anymore.

Only six more months, then I can leave.
Leave for exploration, leave for vacation,
leave for freedom to live my life as I please.
meaningless stress boosted by rain, producing apathy.

Gary sings "look right through me".
This very moment, I realize, feelings have colors.
I feel gray oh so gray. I'm waiting to become colorful.
Color doesn't just come along. Floyd's Time is this moment.

As I just realized, feelings have color,
moments have lines of lyrics and sounds from songs.
When you can really feel it. Like, really feel it.
"No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

I have found love. Love. And together we will explore.
Together we will taste freedom.
Together we will conquer our true selves.
And it's confirmed, we are going, thanks to her mostly.

Joy in my inner self. Peace within is what I'm searching for.
The I within I is raving, raging, I shackle the bars of I's prison.
The prison which my work truly is. I despise every essence of it.
Yet, I wake up everyday only to stroll down to the pyramid.

I will meditate and calm my inner self, not choke, only tame.
Listen, but tame. How does one tame a raging soul?
So full of life, so colorful, yet trapped and strapped down.
Chained by weather, work, lack of physical energy, it wails.

The wailing wail of my inner soul, it is wailing in tune when I play those tunes.
Those wonderful, changing, divine tunes. Taking I&I back to the roots.
Making I&I feel Irie and closer to nature. Closer to what man really is.
That Irie roots reggae, which cannot be conquered. Making I in tune with I.

I&I in tune, together in peace, making that conquering lion I can feel.
when the I within I is in tune with I, the lion within stands up.
With a head held high, and locks hanging low.
When I feel like no one can conquer me. I find peace and my true self.
